Cav if he gets listed, will be up against at least two cycling Olympians, Keely most likely to finish above him. The only way Cav could be considered any value whatsoever is if Littler does not get on the list. So maybe the backer loves him that much
Littler misses out only 1 other cyclist gets on the list so two of them Hoy shakes his hand and says im gonna miss you bestie 2.42 top 3 is it really fecking worth trying to get all that luck for a 11/8 shot its MUG money |

By:
jesus christ, where is the common sense..ive honestly never seen such a dumb market than this EVER
|
|
By:
If you knew he was getting nommed that would
affect the price you wanted. Likely the list is crytalising. |
|
By:
The ONLY way this market makes any sense is if someone 95% knows Littler is not making the list coz if there guessing, they are playing a very costly game.
|
|
By:
yhtl
It makes far more sense its the january backer mate, the money then just looked wrong |
|
By:
Yeah, it could be same guy. Worst for you is if he's been in the know all year.
|
|
By:
Also if the viewing figs and voting is that poor, would the BBC not want Littler too potentially boost both and bring a whole new audience to the awards.
|
|
By:
I thought, early on it was too short, I think I hinted in op.
|
|
By:
If I was constructing short list for 2024 I'd deffo include
littler. |
|
By:
As said earlier if Littler don't make list i move on with my life and i lose another bet, ive lost thousands in my life so whats one more lol
I might be a bit gutted but i'd get over it, its all about getting value bets at the end of the day. |
|
By:
We need to sign you up then
 |
|
By:
Somebody fancies cav
you did, it certainly stood out |
|
By:
I saw on Sky that Littler is pretty certain to be ranked in top 16 by end of the year. Most likely be as high as top 8.
Luke Humphries is miles clear as best player in world. Hopefully they leave that out in the VT |
|
By:
Littler filming Bullseye today, Humphries sat at home in his pants wishing he was more popular !!
|
|
By:
Nobody 'knows' littler isn't on the shortlist.
Panel of 9 people that haven't met yet. It's also been confirmed that he's eligible to be on it, so will undoubtedly be discussed |
|
By:
only 9 this year, thats lower than normal ffs
|
|
By:
Did they divulge that in the email then brushy you got back
|
|
By:
No, it's just that the 3 bbc are advisers, not choosers. Just the same
|
|
By:
Making sure no rapists or multiple felons get on the list
|
|
By:
oh yeah the BBC ones are good imo
|
|
By:
This award goes to the sportsperson whose sporting actions have most captured the UK public's imagination during 2024.
Just to remind the thickest of posters, who have no idea what the award is about. Trying to see where it says what you have won or where your're ranked. key words are ACTIONS and IMAGINATION |
|
By:
It’s not this then ?
What is the criteria for Sports Personality of the Year? Criteria include a person's sporting achievements in the past year, plus their impact across the nation – but, contrary to popular belief, the award has nothing to do with an individual's personality Is Bullseye a sporting achievement  |
|
By:
sporting achievements include
more PDC titles this year than Humphries more 9 darters than Humphries more 180's than Humprhries a higher av than Humprhries a higher winning percentage than Humphries a winning H2H leg record v Humphries achievements yeah loads of them, and impact across the nation. darts clubs galore opening, appearances on multiple channels, 100' and 100's articles. |
|
By:
Anything else or are you happy to keep posting and looking like the uneducated troll you have for the last few months
|
|
By:
This is called 'impact' even when the article has nothing to do with him, he still finds himself in the headline. Bit like when Humphries won the Czech open, all the headlines was about Littler breaking averages
Haverhill darts player Ruby Grey follows in footsteps of Luke Littler and Beau Greaves with England call-up |
|
By:
There's a bot on the t3 market
They're everywhere these days |
|
By:
yeah said that ages ago, thats why i never left anything up. just took it when it appeared
|
|
By:
Lost world final against Humphrey’s. Although it was a good effort and deserves a recognition.
Just think the panel must be a bit torn whether to put losing world finalist and maybe 8th in the world into main category when world champion and clear by miles world number 1 isn’t listed ? These are facts. He’s on bullseye and likeable person and good for young darts must mean the Young Spoty is tailor made. It’s a coin flip what they do and hope goes your way as doesn’t effect Keely. |
|
By:
Gazza won it for getting booked, crying and releasing a record.
Slightly different these days, of course, and bbc advisors may well be saying well we want Mrs A to win so Mr B and Mr C can't be nommed because they might beat her... |
|
By:
Yes THTL - I'm convinced the beeb will be aiming for a Keely win - the amount of emotional VT they produced for her, and she fits like a glove with her other work for women's issues in sports, with the beeb ethos.
If Littler is a threat to that I believe they will keep him from the list, though it's just my view. |
|
By:
To put a bit of fairness and clarity into the Littler shortlist debate from both sides, there is two historical points here and one of them has to come to an end.
btw this is as far we know coz no one has come up with any definitive evidence against either point 1) No 2nd fav has ever not been shortlisted 2) No person has ever been shortlisted over the current world champion if there is an actual world championship tournament That is the bottom line here as far i can see it, nothing we say matters. Its all in the panels hands now, so lets just drop the topic now till the announcement  |
|
By:
2 we proved that was nonsense a while back, f1, two losers have won spoty
|
|
By:
if there is an actual world championship tournament
That would be the key word though - usually meaning a one off tournament/knock out event usually. Yes F1 shows a partial breaking of this rule, though it may just be the exception sport. |
|
By:
and it's not strictly a WC tournament as in most other sports.
|
|
By:
What tournament did Earps win last year?
|
|
By:
Team sports a different deal of course Bear, rule only applies to individual sports. Plenty from teams be nommed of course without winning.
|
|
By:
So basically we've made up some nonsense rules that match reality somehow lol
|
|
By:
It's applied in all individual sports where there's a world championship tournament - ok a fairly limiting set of rules fair enough.
Unfortunately for Littler backers though, Darts fits into it for all criteria. |
|
By:
Nothing is fortunate or unfortunate, it's totally irrelevant to whether 9 sports industry people put him on a list or not
|
|
By:
Could we really argue 9 sports industry people will not be at all influenced by knowing there is another existing world champion out there, who happened to beat him?
I'd say it would. |
